I'ts Saturday and Santa is suppose to be making his way to the mall around 12 noon but if it keeps drizzling then were going to miss it b/c I can't stand going out in the rain w/3 kiddos
under the age of 6. KWIM....
Helena will have to go brave the cold and rain she has to do some community hours it's a requirement to graduate at her school which is something I have never heard of but it doesn't matter b/c Ms. Helena loves doing her civic duty and she will be collecting cans at one of our
local grocery stores, I may have to take some photos of her. Anything to get her out of the house she'll gladly do it, LOL
A while back I went to DST and asked if anyone had ever ordered glasses online well I got some great responses and took the plunge and after 3 weeks I got my order from Zenni Optical my dd loves her new glasses they're 2 tone red/black and she was so excited they are so her and for not seeing them up close and personal they really do look fab on her.
This is one site I will recommend no doubt about it.
--------------------------------------------------------
The Sweet Shoppe is open woot woot ok the forums are, LOL.
The shoppe had a hiccup and is temporarily closed until the kinks can be worked out.

I did this fun lil quiz check it out, I think overall it's me, LOL :)

you are aqua #00FFFF

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

Ok ay I have some scary news..... are you ready ok Scary for me maybe not other people. My dd got her permit this weekend yup she only missed one question and pleeasse you'd think she'd let me take her photo in the DMV we'll never see those same people again I wouldn't have been embarressed but ugh she was so she said you better not even take my picture, she killed my whole joy of even going with her for this huge moment in her life big sighhh oh well. She just had to practice today she had to drive so we did for about an hour and let me tell you she did really well for her 1st time, no slamming of the brakes and no gunning of the gas. I was impressed!
Please everyone send me some positive vibes for my dd ohhh and I'm not worried about her getting her time in she will be going to a school through AAA and she has to wait at least 6 mths before she can get her license so woooo I have some relief their! Tell me it's going to be ok, I need to hear it from others, K
